Authentic, Career-Best Portrayal
PostedDecember 27, 2009
Godfather5
from Phoenix, AZ
Jeff Bridges has always been a natural actor, but his thespian gifts and superb musicality have found a sublime match in the character of Bad Blake. The excellent soundtrack surrounds one of the most appealing film characters we've seen in a long time, albeit the story has been told in other variations before. Gyllenhaal is charming, and Farrell is commanding and musical in his limited screen time. Duvall kicks in a warm nostalgic ambience.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Empty Immersion
PostedDecember 26, 2009
Godfather5
from Phoenix, AZ
While I felt completely immersed in Cameron's world, the plot devices were more of the same we vs. them used in westerns and modern intergalactic war films. It ultimately felt like I was stuck in a very long video game, rather than a movie. The spiritual touches are lovely, but even the CGI animals look like those from Spielberg films and other sci-fi flilcks.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
